My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Zhou Ruoyu looked at Lu Qinchuan lying in the ward through the small glass window. Finally, she gritted her teeth, took out the cloth coupons from her pocket, counted out two and handed them to Xiaolin.

This is Lu Qinchuan's property. Apart from sending some living expenses back to his hometown, he has almost no expenses, so his family background is relatively rich among the military families' compound.

Even so, one still needs to plan one's spending. If Zhou Ruoyu keeps buying cloth to make skirts during festivals, her sisters-in-law will talk about her behind her back.

Zhou Ruoyu pursed her lips and reassured herself: How could I not make money with my own ability? I can just pay him back when the time comes.

Captain Zhu reported the training tasks of the past few days in vivid detail. Lu Qinchuan listened with a frown, occasionally adding a few notes on Captain Zhu's notebook, and sometimes interjecting a few words with a cold expression, just like he was at work.

The days went by like this for a few days. Without Su Hongmei to annoy them, Zhou Ruoyu and Lu Qinchuan became much more familiar with each other.

When she was wiping his back, there was a raised scar. Although it was an old scar, it was still bright red, which shocked her.

"Is this the injury you got during the mission?" Her fingers inadvertently ran across it, and her respect for the soldiers rose quietly.

"No, my father beat me." Lu Qinchuan lowered his head silently, enduring the slight throbbing when the warm fingers touched the scar.

"Uncle?" Zhou Ruoyu was surprised. "How could Uncle be so harsh? Was he hitting me with a branch?"

Lu Qinchuan replied calmly, "It was a horse whip. It whipped off a strip of flesh in one go. I bled a lot, and it took over a month to heal."

Zhou Ruoyu even felt a layer of mist in front of her eyes. Her uncle had a fierce temper, but in her memory, he was always kind to children. How could he be so harsh to his fourth son?

"What happened? How could uncle be so cruel? Do you hold a grudge against him?"

"Holding a grudge? How could that be? I carried you, four years old, on my shoulders across a small river nearly two meters wide. I lost control and dropped you in the river..."

Zhou Ruoyu pursed her lips, trying her best to hold back her tears: "...That really was... not a light blow."

"Old Lu, come and see who's here?"

It was Lai Yunlong's voice that was raised loudly outside the ward, and Zhou Ruoyu hurriedly helped him put on his hospital gown.

Before he finished speaking, Lai Yunlong's face appeared in front of them, and standing behind him was... Lu Xiaohua!

Lu Xiaohua looked at Lu Qinchuan intently with tears in her eyes. Before she could speak, tears started to flow: "Fourth Brother..."

Although blood is thicker than water, and despite the deep affection between siblings, they haven't seen each other for eight years. Lu Qinchuan was stunned for a long time before speaking: "Are you Xiaohua? Have you grown so tall? Come here and let Fourth Brother see you."

Lai Yunlong explained, "Xiaohua was very concerned about you when she knew you were injured, and she insisted on coming to take care of you. I took a few days off and went back to my hometown to pick her up."

Lu Qinchuan frowned: "Did you tell my family that I was injured?"

Lai Yunlong waved his hands hurriedly: "Your parents naturally don't know. Xiaohua has been in contact with me and only she knows. I thought you just happened to need someone to take care of you, so I just brought her over."

Lu Xiaohua also raised her tearful eyes and said, "Fourth brother, I can't do rural work, and I don't want to be trapped in the countryside for the rest of my life. I have a high school diploma, so I can find a job in Luancheng."

Since they were already here, Lu Qinchuan didn't say anything else. After asking about some family matters, he said to Lai Yunlong, "Take her back to my house to rest first. With Captain Zhu's family taking care of her, it should be fine."

Lu Xiaohua wiped her tears, squatted beside the bed and said loudly: "I am here to serve Fourth Brother, we can't use outsiders to serve him."

After saying that, he glared at Zhou Ruoyu who was standing on the other side, showing his hostility.

Zhou Ruoyu was hoping that Lu Qinchuan would agree to her. After all, sleeping in a small bed every day was not as good as the big bed at home. She didn't have any back pain, but she always felt tired.

Lu Qinchuan chuckled: "It's more convenient to have your fourth sister-in-law serve you. You haven't found a partner yet, so it's not good to serve your own brother."

After hearing this, Zhou Ruoyu complained in her heart: It’s not convenient for me either.

Lu Xiaohua stared at Zhou Ruoyu with malice, gritting her teeth and saying, "She? Is she worthy of being my fourth sister-in-law?"

Lu Qinchuan frowned, his face became gloomy, and he looked at Lu Xiaohua in confusion.

Zhou Ruoyu crossed her arms expressionlessly, lowered her eyes to look at Lu Xiaohua, and then sighed: "Lu Qinchuan, this is your sister. She hasn't even said hello since she came in, and she even said that I'm not worthy of being her fourth sister-in-law. Then I don't understand, if I'm not worthy, does she already have someone else in her mind?"

Lu Xiaohua showed no sign of weakness. She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you know whether you're a good match or not? You're just attracted to my fourth brother because he's an officer. You've become such a nobody in the village, yet you still want to get close to him!"

These suggestive words were so targeted that several patients had already gathered in the corridor to watch the fun.

Lu Qinchuan shouted, "Shut up!"

He turned to Lai Yunlong and said, "What are you waiting for? I'll let you take her back!"

Lai Yunlong knew Lu Qinchuan's temper best, so he could only wink at Lu Xiaohua, indicating that she should not make a scene here.

Lu Xiaohua pursed her lips, stood up, and said aggrievedly, "Then I'll go back first, Fourth Brother. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Lai Yunlong felt hot on his face as he was at a disadvantage right after arriving.

As he passed by Zhou Ruoyu with Lu Xiaohua, he gritted his teeth and said viciously, "We'll see!"

Zhou Ruoyu raised her chin high with a very arrogant attitude. She didn't say anything, just raised her eyebrows and gave an expression that said "goodbye, I won't see you off."

The crowd dispersed and the house became much quieter.

Lu Qinchuan looked at Zhou Ruoyu guiltily: "Xiaohua is young and probably doesn't understand things."

"Young? She's two months older than me. I understand the etiquette, but she doesn't? I know what she's thinking. Don't worry, I won't hold it against her if she doesn't do anything out of line again."

Zhou Ruoyu was folding the quilt while speaking in a cold and distant tone. It was obvious that she had suffered some injustice from Xiaohua.

Lu Qinchuan pursed his lips, his deep eyes darkened, and he didn't continue talking about this topic.

The new dress designed by Zhou Ruoyu was ready, and Zhou Shufen couldn't wait to take it directly to the hospital.

"Girl, put it on and let me see..." Zhou Shufen and Xiaolin looked at Zhou Ruoyu expectantly. First of all, the size was made according to her waist. Secondly, Zhou Ruoyu was tall and fair-skinned, and could be said to be a walking clothes rack. So they were all very much looking forward to the final display of the finished product.

Coming out of the bathroom, the two women couldn't take their eyes off it. Nurse Kobayashi opened her mouth wide and took a long time to speak: "This is too beautiful."

Lu Qinchuan, who was walking around in the room, heard this and walked out of the ward, following their gaze...

When his eyes met that graceful figure, his heart began to beat wildly. He had never felt this way before. Why?
